May Dannevirke, Waipukurau 1897 April Wharite May Woodville July Dannevirke 1898 April Woodville Place names Foreword by Bruce Hamlin For the purpose of the following list, all names mentioned in the Journals, the plant lists and the herbarium have been listed. Even words, appearing on herbarium tickets, which might appear to be place names have been included to avoid possible confusion.70 Where it has been possible, as precise a location as can be has been given for each place name. This task has been made immensely simpler by the work of Bagnall & Petersen and I have availed myself freely of their work. I have also had the advantage of having available a copy of Arrowsmith’s 1850 map on which Colenso’s two Waikaremoana journeys are marked. Another valuable source has been Buchanan’s work and several puzzling places have been successfully located from these works. Drury’s reports from H.M.S. Pandora on his survey of the East Cape – Bay of Plenty area which appeared in the New Zealand Government Gazette were also useful. Names to be found in the lists or on the specimens have been marked with an asterisk. Colenso’s original orthography has been retained as it is in this form that an enquirer is likely to meet it. A special peculiarity of this orthography is his use of “ẁ” for the sound now usually rendered as “wh”. These have been interfiled as though they were “w”, which may not make sense philologically but is intended to facilitate reference. In a few cases, Colenso’s orthography is more accurate than that currently adopted. I might cite the case of Mangatawainui, which Colenso translates in a letter to Hooker as “the place of the great beeches”, Tawai being the name for the southern beech. The modern rendering, Mangatewaenui, which has been adopted to mean “the meeting of the great waters” is not only bad Māori but actually makes little sense geographically. Non-New Zealand users of this list might be confused by the use of the singular definite article “te”. It is customary in New Zealand usage for this article to be ignored, the filing being dependent on the following noun. Every effort has been made to ensure that all place names have been included and the known dates of visits recorded. There will, inevitably, be omissions. It has not been deemed practical to list every locality on the east coast of Wellington province for every journey Colenso made down it, but where the Journal mentions a locality it has been cited. Although it is not always clear why he mentions it, there is possibly some underlying significance which is not now understood, but he may have had time to pause long enough to gather information or hold a conversation. To overcome this deficiency somewhat, a complete list has been included of all his journeys over such extensive areas. The areas selected have been the east coast, Palliser Bay, Wairarapa and Manawatu. These listings should give a sufficiently comprehensive indication of possible visits to fill in gaps which may appear to exist in the Journal accounts. Formal place names with dates of visits *Te Ahiaruhe, Mr. Northwood’s Sheep’s Station. Bagnall and Petersen (p. 218) show this locality (“Ahieruhe”) close to the site of Carterton. There is a trig point and stream of this name on the south bank of the Ruamahanga River east of the Kokotau Road Bridge. 71 4-5 Apr 45; 19 Mar, 18 Sep 46; 12-13 Apr, 10 Nov 47; 29 May, 16 Nov 48; 29 Apr 51. Te Ahikereru. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows Te Ahikereru on the west bank of the Whirinaki, slightly upstream from the junction with the Okahu stream, Bay of Plenty. 30 Dec 43; 1, 5 Jan 44. *Ahuriri, Hawke’s Bay. Originally the entrance to the lagoon, then the lagoon itself and used by Colenso as the name of the district, sometimes including the whole of the Heretaunga Plains. *Akitio. About 15 miles south by coast from Cape Turnagain. 1-4 Dec 43; 15-16 Apr, 28-29 Nov 45; 19 Feb, 28 Aug 46; 18-19 May, 11 Oct 47; 6-8 Jun, 31 Oct 48; 2-4 May 49; 9 Mar 50; 3-4 Apr 51; 21-22 Apr 52. *Anaura. On Anaura Bay, East coast. 4-6 Dec 41; 27 Oct 43. Aotahi,
Te Aotahi was close to the Wesleyan Mission Station at Tangiteroria on the Wairoa River. 23-24 Feb 36. Aotea,
Great Barrier in the Hauraki Gulf. 13 Oct 43. *Te Apiti, nearly opposite Bare Island; on coast S. of Bare Island; c. 8 miles S. of Bare Island. Te Apiti Stream reaches the coast due east of Elsthorpe and about two miles north of Kairakau. 11-12 Feb 46. *Te Apiti, Banks of (Pahawa) River. This name occurs in the list of June 1850, item 2430. No such name is now marked on the Pahaoa River, but a homestead occurs on the Kaiwhata River, some four miles in a direct line from the Pahaoa headwaters. Apungaotekura. Near Hallett’s Bay on the east side of Lake Taupo. This place is mentioned in In Memoriam (p. 37) but does not appear in the Journal. 16 Feb 47. Arai (1). A sleeping place, a half hour’s walk from the following: 29-30 Mar, 1-2 Apr 39. Arai (2), “a rocky headland.” Presumably Te Arai, the 53 foot high feature south of The Bluff, Ninety Mile Beach. 30 Mar 39. Arawata lake. From Colenso’s description and route, this would be one of the Lake Half – Swan Lake group near Ninety Mile Beach. 2 Apr 39. Araẁata. The Arawhata Stream forms a conspicuous shingle fan on the coast about three miles south of Flat Point, Wairarapa coast. 14 Apr 52. Te ari aẁai. Alternative name for Tuparoa. 20-21 Jan 38. Te Ariuru, A large village in Tokomaru Bay. Tokomaru Bay (Bagnall and Petersen p.109). Porter’s map (p. 621) marks Te Ariuru too far north. 2-4 Dec 41; 27 Oct 43. Aropaki. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows Aropaki on the west bank of the Whakatane River, opposite Warau hill. This corresponds to a position opposite the Mangatawhero stream mouth. 13-15 Jan 44. *Aropauanui, Hawkes Bay. Near the mouth of the Aropaoanui River, north of Tangoio. Arapawanui is an old spelling. 13 Dec 43; 7-8 Jul, 9 Dec 46; 16-18 Jun, 30-31 Aug 47; 11-12 Feb 48; 13 Nov 51; 30 Jan 52. *Te Atuaomaharu, topmost crag of Ruahine; Teatuaomahura The highest peak (5028 feet) of the northern Ruahine Mountains. 26 Feb 47; 28 Oct 51. *Auckland. Jan (May?), 5-10 Oct 43; 15-22 Dec 44. *Te Aute. About 8 miles north of Waipawa on the Napier/Wellington highway and railway, and about two miles west of Roto a kiwa Lake. 27 Feb, 13 Mar, 10-13 Jul 52. Te Awaiti. “At the south of the Oterei” River (Bagnall & Petersen, p.219n), Wairarapa coast. 27 Feb 46; 19-20 Oct 47; 24-25 Apr, 7 Nov 48; 14-15 Apr 51; 8-10 Apr 52. *Te Awanga. Near the mouth of the Maraetotara Stream between Cape Kidnappers and the Tukituki River, Hawke’s Bay. 9 Dec 43; 29-30 Nov 50. Te Awaateatua. Buchanan (p. 133) notes a ford on the Ngaruroro River called Te Awaoteatua downstream from Fernhill. 8-9 Jul 52. Awanui River, near Te Kawakawa, East Cape (list of 30 July 1844). Possibly an error for Awatere (q.v.), the river on which Te Kawakawa (modern Te Araroa) was situated. It does not appear to be associated with Port Awanui, a few miles down the coast from the mouth of the Waiapu River. Te Awa o te atua. The old name for the lower reaches of the Tarawera River, reaching the sea at Matata, Bay of Plenty. 23 Jan 44. *Te Awapuni. On the Waitangi River only a short distance from Colenso’s Mission Station in Hawke’s Bay. 9-12 Dec 43. Awaroa.
*Te Awarua,
*Awatere River. Flows into Kawakawa Bay, East Cape. Mentioned in the list of 30 July 1844. Awatoto, Te Awatootoo. On the coast of Hawke’s Bay, south of Napier. Colenso must have passed it on many occasions but it is mentioned in the Journal only on 3-4 July 52. *Aẁea, East Coast. North of Cape Palliser, at the mouth of the Awhea River, a few miles south of Te Awaiti. Aẁeanui, E. Coast. Probably to be equated with the Awhea River area, see below. Bare Island, E. Coast, a glen opposite. One mile offshore and about 15 miles south of Cape Kidnappers. “Baridy Bay”. Baridy Bay is shown on Arrowsmith’s 1841 map as being the bay immediately south of Flat Point, Wairarapa coast. The name is possibly a corruption of Pararata, the name of a stream entering the Bay. Colenso, in the list of July 1846, puts the name in quotation marks. Barrier Island. see Aotea Barton’s sheep station. see Kuraẁaẁanui. *Bay of Islands. 1835-1844. Bethany. Petane. Black Head. See Parimahu. Colenso originally confused Cook’s place name with Paoanui Point. *Cape Kidnapper; Cape K.; C.K. Cape Kidnappers is the promontory at the southern end of Hawke Bay. 4, 26 May 46; 30 Jul-1Aug 50. *Cape Maria van Diemen; Cape M. V. D. The western headland of the North Cape complex. Colenso was no nearer than 4-5 miles from the Cape proper. His collections labelled as from here would seem to use the name as a general locality. 30 Mar 39. *Cape Palliser. The southernmost point of the North Island and the eastern boundary of Palliser Bay. 19 Mar, 21 Nov 45; 10-11 Sep 46; 4 May 47; 26-27 Apr, 8-9 Nov 48; 7 Apr 52. Cape Reinga. One of the promontories of the North Cape complex. 31 Mar 39. Cape Turakirae.
*Cape Turnagain. About 63 miles south of Cape Kidnappers on the east coast. See also Poroporo. 10 Mar, 29 Nov 45. *Castle Point. About 35 miles south of Cape Turnagain on the Wairarapa coast. See also Deliverance Cove, Rangiẁakaoma, Waiorongo. 15 Nov 43; 14 Mar, 26 Nov 45; 23-24 Feb, 3 Sep 46; 12-13 May 47; 1 Jun, 1 Nov 48; 28 Apr 49; 12-14 Mar 50; 17 Apr 52. *Cook’s Straits. Cook Strait, between the North and South Islands. Colenso seems to have included Cape Palliser Bay in the Strait area, but most references are to Ohaua, Oterango and Waiariki, q.v. 24 Mar 45. Deliverance Cove, Castle Point. 15 Nov 43; 14 Mar 45; 1 Nov 48. *East Coast. The coast from Cape Kidnappers to Cape Palliser. As an aid to identification, localities occurring from Castle Point southward have been referred to as being on the Wairarapa Coast. 72 15 Nov-8 Dec 43; 1-19 Mar, 10-21 Apr, 20-29 Oct, 23 Nov-4 Dec 45; 10 Feb-1 Mar, 18 Aug-10 Sep 46; 4-28 May, 1-21 Oct 47; 20-26 Apr, 31 May-16 Jun, 25 Oct-8 Nov 48; 24 Apr-15 May 49; 2-18 Mar 50; 22 Mar-17 Apr 51; 7 Apr-6 May 52. *East Cape.

Bagnall and Petersen (p. 206) show Eparaima WNW of Wallingford which would place it between the Tutira and Whangai Ranges, and about 20 miles from Porangahau. The present Eparaima trig is about 3 miles north of Wallingford and well to the east of the position shown by Bagnall and Petersen. 24-25 Nov 47; 21-22 Nov 50. Gable End Foreland. The prominent headland north of Poverty Bay. 25 Jan 38; 9 Dec 41. Great Barrier Island. see Aotea. Haruru.

The Herehere Stream flows northwards through Havelock North to join the Karamu Creek. 16-17 Jan 52. Also mentioned in the lists of September 1847 and 31 January 1853. Hereheretaunga, The landing place at the further extremity of the Lake (Waikaremoana). Presumably on Whanganui Inlet. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 170) spell Hereheretaua, but I have not found any other references. Herekino. The northernmost of the harbours on Northland’s west coast. 25 Mar 39. Herepunga. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows Herepunga on the right bank of the Waikaretaheke River, in northern Hawke’s Bay. 18 Dec 43. *Heretaunga. The plains on the lower reaches of the Tutaekuri, Ngaruroro and Tukituki Rivers; also called Ahuriri plains by Colenso. Heretaunga river. The Hutt River, flowing into the northern end of Wellington Harbour. 4 Nov 47; 18 May 48. *Hick’s Bay, East Cape. 16 Jan 38; 22-25 December 41; 19-20 & 23-24 Oct 43. Hikurangi (Tauwenua). See Tauwenua. *Hikurangi, a high mountain capped with snow near the E. Cape. Mount Hikurangi, Raukumara Range. Not visited by Colenso, but an unnamed Māori was sent to bring back plants which are in the list of 30 July 1844. Te Hinau. On the E. bank of the Ẁirinaki River, in the Te Ẁaiiti District, in the interior. Not noted by Best (1925) nor marked on Arrowsmith’s 1850 map, but clearly on the lower reaches of the Whirinaki near the junction with the Rangitaiki?. 4 Jan 44. Te Hinau. Occurs on the ticket of Rumex flexuosus 4437, dated 16 Dec 51. The entry in the list of 31 January 1853 reads: “Rumex, growing with 4426; …i.e. “gravely shores, nr. Ahuriri.” This may be Te Hinu, the “pa on the Tukituki River” of Buchanan (p. 136). Hinemaia river. The Hinemaiaia Stream flows into the eastern shores of Lake Taupo at Hatepe. 16 Feb 47. *Hinemokai village, On Waiau River, Hawke’s Bay. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map and Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) show Hinemokai at the junction of the Waikaretaheke and Wairoa Rivers. 18 Dec 43. *Hinuera valley. The present Hinuera is on the Rotorua branch railway between Matamata and Tirau. 21 Jan 42. Hinukuku. “One of the nearest villages” of the Waiomio valley, Bay of Islands but not now traceable. Twenty identified visits between September 1836 and February 1840. Hobson’s Harbour, Aotea. i.e. Great Barrier Island. Hobson’s Harbour no longer appears, but is probably an earlier unofficial name for Port Fitzroy. 13 Oct 43. Honurora. A large village on the seashore at the mouth of the Uawa River, Tolago Bay. 7-9 Dec 41. *Hopekoko, A small stream…. Not identified. No streams of this name are now to be found between Parikanapa and Hangaroa River in Northern Hawke’s Bay. 21 Dec 41. Horahora, near Ngunguru The Horahora River enters the sea at Ngunguru Bay, a short distance south of the mouth of the Ngunguru River. 17 Feb 42. Horoera, A pa halfway between Te Hekawa and Poureatua, East Cape.
Hororoa, “about 3½ miles up the (Kawakawa) river.” Not now known. Ten visits noted between February 1835 and May 1840. Horotiu River. On the one occasion when this name is used, Colenso uses it for the Waikato River above the junction with the Waipa at Ngaruawahia. This seems to have been customary. The New Zealand Gazette 70: 197ff. 26 Feb 1853 uses “Horatu”. Colenso appears to have reached the river somewhere south of Hamilton. 29 Jan 44. Horotutu, Bay of Islands. “… the next beach along from Paihia towards the Waitangi River.” (Porter 111, n. 83). appears on a specimen of “Nephrodium thelypteris” in the bound volume of ferns at WELT. Houhora Harbour. A tidal inlet at the southern end of Great Exhibition Bay on the east coast of the Northland Peninsula. Mt Camel forms the eastern headland. 2 Apr 39. *Huaangarua. This was on the site of Martinborough in Wairarapa (Bagnall & Petersen p.219n). The Huangarua River joins the Ruamahanga just north of the town. 4 Apr, 4-5 Nov 45; 18-19 Mar, 17-18 Sep 46; 13-14 Mar, 8-10 Nov 47; 14, 16-19 May, 15-16 Nov 48; 27-29 Mar, 19-23 Apr 49; 20-26 Mar 50; 23-29 Apr 51; 30-31 Mar 52. *Huariki village, nr. Cape Palliser. Bagnall and Petersen (p. 219n) give the position as one mile north of Te Awaiti on the Wairarapa Coast. 18-19 Mar, 22 Nov 45; 27 Feb, 9 Sep 46; 6 May 47. Te Huiakama, “A pa about a musket shot from Kaupapa.” i.e. Turanga or Poverty Bay. Curiously, Williams (Porter 1974) does not mention a pa of this name. 15 Dec 41 Huiarau Range. The range of hills to the west and northwest of Lake Waikaremoana. 30 Dec 41-1 Jan 42; (28 Dec 43). *Te Humenga, Palliser Bay. Te Humenga Point, the headland on the east side of Palliser Bay. *Hurunuiorangi, Wairarapa valley. Bagnall and Petersen (p. 218) show Hurunuiorangi on the west bank of the Ruamahanga River almost opposite the confluence with the Tauweru River, near Carterton. A pa still occupies this position. 73 19-20 Mar, 18-19 Sep 46; 10 Nov 47; 18 Apr, 29-30 May 48; 26-27 Mar 50; 29-30 Apr 51. *Hutt Valley; valley of the “Hutt”. The Hutt River flows into the northern end of Wel1ington Harbour. In addition to his numerous visits to Petone (Pitoone) at the southern end, Colenso twice travelled the length of the valley to reach the Wairarapa. 4 Nov 47; 17 Apr 49. Te Ihooteata. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows this on the east bank of the Waimana River, Bay of Plenty. 17 Jan 44. Ihuraua. Ihuraua Stream flows past Alfredton, 16 miles by road east of Ekatahuna. Although mentioned on 24 March 1846, Colenso never visited the village. Ikaarangitauira, Sides of R. Tutaekuri. Te Ikaarangitauira is placed by Colenso (Trans. N.Z. Inst. 11: p.85-6. 1879) on the banks of the Waitio River which now joins the Ngaruroro (not the Tutaekuri) at Ohiti by Runanga Lake. Iringataha. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map and Bagnall & Petersen (p. 66) show Iringataha on the north bank of the Waikaretaheke River. 18 Dec 43. Te Kahakaha. Colenso gives the position as 3 miles NNE of Toreatai. Arrowsmith’s 1850 map shows it west of the northern end of the Maungapohatu ridge and upstream of the Waikare crossing. This suggests that it was not far from modern Pinaki. 12 Jan 44. Kahumingi. Kahumingi is marked on the Masterton – Castlepoint Road several miles east of Tauweru, Kaumingi Stream, with its tributary of Biscuit Creek, flows into the Tauweru River. 30-31 Oct, 24 Nov 45. *Kahuraanake, The hill, H. Bay; Kauranaki, near Bare Island. Kahuranaki (2119 feet alt.) is between the Maraetotara and the east bank of the Tukituki. Also spelt Kauranaki. 29-30 Dec 51. Kahuwera stream. Not located. The main streams between Whareora and the Ngunguru River are the Taheke and Waitangi. 4-5 Oct 41 Kaihoata stream. Kaiwhata Stream north of Flat Point, Wairarapa coast (Bagnall & Petersen, p.213). 15 Mar 45; 4-7 Sep 46; 27 Apr 49 (as Taihoata); 10 Apr 51. Kaikohi. Modern Kaikohe, west of Bay of Islands. 8-9 Jan 36. *Te Kaikokirikiri village, head of Wairarapa valley. Bagnall & Petersen (p. 218) place this on the present site of Masterton. 5-9 Apr, 31 Oct-4 Nov 45; 20-24 Mar, 19-23 Sep 46; 8-12 Apr, 13-15 Nov 47; 12-18 Apr, 17-20 Nov 48; 22-27 Mar 49; 27-31 Mar, 1 Apr 50; 30 Apr, 1-12 May 51; 25-30 Mar 52. Kaikoura Stream, near the Rotoatara Lake. Buchanan (p. 139) so names a stream two miles north of Otane. He also notes Kaikora as “the original name for Otane.” 15-16 Dec 48. Kaiku, Cape Kidnapper. Not located but occurs in the list of July 1848. Kaimatangi, 30 miles SW. from Ahuriri, inland. A trig point in the Ahimanawa Range near Tarawera might be intended if the direction is an error for “NW”. The name occurs in the list for July 1846. Kainganui. A hill described as on the north bank of the Waikaretaheke River, two miles from Iringataha and two miles from Herepunga. This appears to be the trig east of the McLean’s Road – Titirangi Road junction. 18 Dec 43. Kaipara (harbour). On the west coast north of Auckland. 5 Feb 42; 7-10 Feb 44. Kaipatiki, A small village about two miles distant from Paihia. Kaipatiki Creek drains into the south arm of Waitangi Inlet. 22 Oct, 10 Dec 37; 1 Nov, 6 Dec 40; 15 Feb 41; 9, 25 Apr 55. Kairakau
